Analysis of Vegetable Root Knot Nematode Diseases

Root knot nematodes of vegetables are a major disease that seriously harms vegetable production. The pathogen of this disease is root-knot nematodes. Nematodes are the most abundant, resistant, and adaptable invertebrates on Earth and can harm almost any crop. In recent years, with the continuous development of the vegetable planting industry, the incidence of vegetable root knot nematodes has been increasing. It has become one of the important diseases and pests that endanger vegetable production and quality safety.

Lifeasible provides services to customers worldwide in the analysis of vegetable root knot nematode diseases. Our platform is equipped with advanced facilities and professional experts to support related research. Here, we provide various services according to customer needs.

Analysis of Root Knot Nematodes in Vegetables

• Currently, more than 80 species of root-knot nematodes have been reported internationally. Among all root-knot nematodes, the four root-knot nematodes are java root knot nematode (Meloidogyne javanica spp.), peanut root knot nematode (M. arenaria), southern root knot nematode (M. incognita) and northern root knot nematode (M. hapla), which are the most common and the most harmful.

• Lifeasible provides various analyses of root knot nematode in vegetables, including pathogen analysis and identification, pathogenic regularity, transmission, and mechanism, etc. In pathogen analysis and identification, we provide the detection of plant nematodes based on morphology, molecular biology, protein analyses, and modern methods.
• We also provide a mechanism analysis of the harm caused by root knot nematodes in vegetables, mainly by robbing the host of nutrients, disrupting hormone balance, causing mechanical damage, and so on.
• We have a wide range of services, including root knot nematodes in cabbage, pumpkin, tomato, cucumber, string beans, carrots, etc.

Analysis of Root Knot Nematodes in Greenhouse Vegetables

• The obstacle of continuous cropping of vegetables in the greenhouse is increasingly serious, and the high incidence of diseases and pests, especially the harm of root-knot nematodes, has seriously restricted the development of the vegetable industry.
• We help our customers to study the pathogenesis and hazards of root-knot nematodes. We provide an analysis of the effects of light and carbon dioxide on root-knot nematodes, which can affect plant resistance to root knot nematode diseases by regulating active oxygen, resistance hormones, and other secondary metabolites.
